MY INSIDER’S GUIDE TO TRAVELING PARIS

See the local side of ParisParis is everything you imagine it to be – cultured, sophisticated, classy, romantic, beautiful, historic, and stylish. It is a destination written about more than any other; a place to fall in love and be in love.

I remember the first time I saw Paris. It was 2008 and I stepped out of the train onto the Champs-Élysées at night. There, before me, was the Arc de Triumph lit up in awe inspiring beauty, down my left was Paris’ most famous treelined streets. I could make the Louvre out in the distance. Around me were people coming in going. That energy. That glamour. It was infectious.

In that moment, I fell in love with Paris.

My name is Nomadic Matt and I’ve been traveling the world since 2005. I love the City of Lights so much, I return at least twice a year and lead tours to the city. I know the city extremely well and have the local friends to constantly show me what is hip and new.

Too many people dream of Paris but think it’s too expensive. Or they visit and blow their budget because they end up in the tourist areas, where everything is overpriced. But Paris is not expensive and can be easily done on any budget. I know. I’ve been there on as little as $20 a day and as much as $200 a day. Now, I used my personal experience to write this straightforward guidebook to one of my favorite cities so you can visit without breaking the bank.

This comprehensive guide features insider tips on places to eat, stay, and play. I’ll give you local, insider knowledge to help you get off the beaten path and into the little secret spots free of tourists.

This guide will help you break free from the crowds. From delicious food markets, to beautiful parks and architecture, to overlooked sights, you’ll get the best of Paris in one place. I love Paris and this guide will pass this love affair onto you by telling you the best things to see and do in this magical city.

What Readers Are Saying About This Book

“Paris is a deceivingly huge city! I only had five days and I wanted to make each one count. This guide was brilliant in breaking down each arrondissement so I could eat and explore the areas most suited to my travel style and budget. Since I was constantly on the road, I didn’t have much time to research the city before I got there, which is why Matt’s suggested itineraries and personal recommendations were a huge time saver for me. I will definitely be using more of his guides for my upcoming trips!” – Shannon
